"You know those Instagram posts you see of some glamorous London rooftop bar that has glorious personal igloos? And you look at it and think “one day I will go there.” Well, that bar is Aviary. It’s got those famed igloos we’ve clocked in countless TV shows, but it’s actually far from the tourist trap you might think it is. For starters, the cocktails are seriously good, the views of the City are second-to-none, and it’s one of the few alfresco cocktail situations that’s smart enough for a business drink. Although as you might have guessed, this place is très pricey." - heidi lauth beasley, sinead cranna
